The official jogging thread

[Sushi]

Either way, no more jogging for 2018

Sorry to hear that! Get well soon!

I ran 10km in 50’30" !

Oh I see, that’s why the new avatar?

Yes… although it is temporarily.
So let’s just paste it here for reference and then switch back to the real Sushi

Tl;dr : Around 12km per hour?

Yesterday I went for a walk at lunchtime. It was the first time since the injury. Slow walk, all in all around 5km, my leg was very tired but not in pain. I had some unease around the knee while lying in bed hours later but that’s it. It’s a good sign, I think. I’ll try again next week, depending on the weather.

I ran 5km in 23’45" today - a new personal record

again, because I had little time to run.

You do your personal record again, a friend of mine sends me a recap of his spontaneous half marathon, and I’m here, sitting and eating like there’s no tomorrow it’s going to be a long 2019.

and I’m here, sitting and eating like there’s no tomorrow

And it’s not even Christmas yet!

and I’m here, sitting and eating like there’s no tomorrow

You are not alone, my friend. You are not alone! And what if there is no tomorrow?

[Gffp]

And what if there is no tomorrow?

“Let the pessimism win!”

I found myself remembering that motto of yours some times recently. It has some logic and effectiveness afterall.

As we say here: “The right is given to the fools” (in a dispute, to make it end).

I finally have an appointment for an MRI.

However, the doctor had on his desk a printed sheet with written on it “running is the worst way of staying in shape”.

But I don’t do it to stay in shape, I do it for stress relief and fun, so I’m safe

He also had a “most interesting man in the world” meme printed on another sheet, but I couldn’t read it.

I want one! I want one!!!

However, the doctor had on his desk a printed sheet with written on it “running is the worst way of staying in shape”.

IMHO it’s far, far worse for “getting in shape”:
Overweight, no muscles and joints not ready for all the stress… sounds bad.

Now thinking about it: Maybe it’s just the translation.
Or maybe “staying in shape” is just a nicer way (i.e. self-deception) of saying “getting in shape”?
